To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F REDERIC BERGMANN, a citizen of the Republic of France, and a resident of Lyon, France, have invented a new and Improved Eye-Shield, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

rl.`his invention relates to eye shields and has for an object the provision of an improved construction which may be quickly and easily applied and removed.

Another object of the invention is to provide a shield formed of transparent material which is at the same time flexible.

Cords or elastic members 6 and 7 are secured by lines of stitching 9 and 10 to the reinforcing strips which are adapted to be brought .whereby an ample and proper shaped body will be presented for covering the eyes and part of the nose. This will protect the eyes against dust and the like when used by persons driving automobiles or other vehicles, and at the same time allows him to see Without danger of injuring the eyes.
